S 7427 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes the board of elections to alter the presidential ballot

Senate Bill S 7427 authorizes the State Board of Elections to prevent a candidate's name from appearing on a primary election ballot under specific circumstances. The bill states that candidates found to have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or given aid to its enemies, shall not be certified. If the Board cannot reach a decision on this matter, the Attorney General will issue a formal, binding opinion. This process directly affects primary election candidates and the State Board of Elections, unless the U.S. Congress removes the disqualification by a two-thirds vote.
